Minimizing the Emotional & Financial Impacts

With all divorce cases we seek to minimize both the emotional and financial impacts.  For those couples where at least one of the spouses is a high-income earner, there are unique challenges.  Here are few thoughts you will want to consider.  

Think Long Term

Consider both the long-term financial and emotional impacts of your decisions.  This is especially true if children are involved in the divorce.  Focusing on “winning” in the short term can neglect the longer term goals of what you are trying to achieve in getting divorced.

Disclose your Assets

Kentucky law requires that both spouses fully disclose their assets and income sources.  Do a full inventory of all your financial accounts, assets and revenue sources.  When accounting for assets don’t forget about intangible items like intellectual property or digital assets you may have acquired

Select An Experienced Attorney

When dealing with financially complicated divorce, you want a family lawyer who is well versed in dealing with these issues.  Experience in both these cases and an advanced understanding of tax law are needed to help you get positive results.  Contact the divorce lawyers of Jackson Family Law today for a personal consultation.
